UNIVERSAL LIFE SAVINGS & INVESTMENT OPTIONS

DESIGNING YOUR SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOYou can invest in any combination of the following:

• Daily Interest Account The Daily Interest Account is similar to a typical savings account found at various financial institutions. The interest rate credited on premiums allocated to the Daily Interest Account will be determined by Equitable Life® from time to time, but is guaranteed never to be less than 90% of the yield on 91-Day Government of Canada Treasury Bills, less 2%. Interest credited will never be negative.

• Guaranteed Deposit Accounts A minimum investment of $500 is required and can be invested for terms of 1, 5, and 10 years. Premiums allocated to the Guaranteed Deposit Accounts provide you with a guaranteed rate of interest for the term selected. Interest credited will never be negative.

• Linked Interest Options Linked Interest Options provide the opportunity to have non-registered accounts that enjoy tax-advantaged earnings with performance that reflects domestic, global equity and bond markets. There are three types of Linked Interest Options available:

UNIVERSAL LIFE SAVINGS& INVESTMENT OPTIONS

Universal life combines cost-effective life insurance protection and tax-advantaged investment opportunities. Before making your investment choices, it’s important to understand how comfortable you are with investment risk. Many people recommend taking a more conservative approach within an insurance policy in order to safeguard the death benefit. We offer a wide range of investment options that are well suited to not only building a conservative portfolio, but also adding long-term growth options for the more aggressive investor.

Index Interest Options Performance Fund Interest Options

Portfolio Interest Options

Interest based on the movement of widely recognized indices.

Interest mirrors the performance of mutual funds managed by some of the world’s best professional money managers.

Interest based on the performance of the Franklin Templeton Quotential Portfolios.

UNIVERSAL LIFE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS

With Linked Interest Options, you are not investing in or buying units in the Index, Performance or Portfolio Fund being tracked. Instead, net premiums allocated to the Linked Interest Options are invested in an interest bearing account on deposit with The Equitable Life Insurance Company of Canada. Charges are deducted monthly.

Equitable Life guarantees to credit or debit interest with an interest rate equal to:

• not less than 100% of the net rate of return of the Performance or Portfolio Funds being tracked, including the reinvestment of dividends, and

• not less than 100% of the comparative increase or decrease of the total return of the Index being tracked, including the reinvestment of dividends.

Equitable Life guarantees to credit or debit interest based on the rate of return (net rate of return for mutual funds and portfolios and total return for indices) of the external fund or index being tracked.

Equitable Life tracks the performance of the selected external mutual fund, index or portfolio on a daily basis.

Due to the variable nature of the market-based investments that are being tracked, the rate of interest can be either positive or negative depending on the movement of the applicable index, mutual fund or portfolio you select.

• A negative return or interest rate will reduce your Account Value.

• A positive return or interest rate will increase your Account Value.

Starting Account ValueRate of return of the fund

being tracked Your New Account Value

$2,0002% $2,040

-3% $1,940

The performance you experience will depend on the amounts and timing of premiums relative to the index, mutual fund or portfolio being tracked by your Linked Interest Option(s). While Linked Interest Options may provide the potential for greater rates of return over the long term, there is an inherent risk in selecting them as investment options. Unlike investing in the Daily Interest Account or the Guaranteed Deposit Accounts where there are guarantees surrounding the credited interest rates, investments in the Linked Interest Options are NOT GUARANTEED. It is possible to receive negative interest, which will reduce your Account Value. Past performance of the indices, mutual funds or portfolios does not guarantee future results. Investment results will vary.

It is important to consider these factors and your risk tolerance when you make your Investment Interest Account selection. If you are planning to deposit a premium that is equal to or only slightly greater than the minimum premium for your policy, you should not be selecting any investment option that can have a negative return. In this case, you should limit your investment choices to the Daily Interest Account and the Guaranteed Deposit Accounts.
